Some More of the Latest

The stores are not putting out that many new photos lately. This is so weird compared to last year when they were revealing new stuff until Christmas day. What an odd 4th quarter this has been. Anway, from Australia,Top Speed Crops, Swiftly SS, and the new heart rate monitor All Sport bra.

Classic Stripe Black and White Devotion LS. Shown with Beaming Blue Gather and Crow Crops in the top photo. I believe the bottom photo is just showing plain Wunder Under pants.

Ugly and unbecoming, all of it. That SE Uba hoodie in cream looks very dumpy. Bad idea, those horizontal stripes, even for someone thinner.

No Cuddle Up Jacket is such a lame move. Messing with the Scuba and replacing it with the Scuba Stretch also dumb. Fine if they want a lighter Scuba (stretch) choice for the customer to choose, but they should have kept the original Scuba. I'll never buy the stretch version; I'll be content with the 2 + Cuddle Up that I have. Also, I was just admiring Roots Vista Bonded Hoody (in store) and I'd be very content to acquire this in more than one colour.

I bought the Uba Hoodie Lux in black - don't think it works in the polar cream. If you're going for a bomber jacket look might as well go for black.

OT - Many of us become obsessed with finding certain Lulu items once they're gone and unavailable, which can happen quickly due to the rapid turnover. I've only been obsessed with Lulu for a couple of months so I can think of a few - the vinyasa scarf in black herringbone/pique or the Turn Around LS.

-- I'd love to hear predictions from Lulu fans about which current items are destined to become those "most wanted" items that we'll end up paying big bucks for on ebay in a few months...

Hmm, predicting the future most wanted. That's kind of hard. I would say the DHBH but lulu seems to have made quite a few of them. Maybe the Ice Queen pants. People seem to be liking those a lot. It's usually something with an unusual print/pattern or color, though. Perhaps the white herringbone WUs. Maybe skinny Will pants in pique.

Devotion is the worst shirt EVER!! I tried to make the Devotion work but it is just a gross laughable cheap joke of a LS, not worth $20 and newbies that never knew the Cabins are snatching them up at the same price. So annoying!

I am so annoyed with Lulu. I dropped off WU pants for hemming 2 weeks ago. I was out and about yesterday and realized I didn't get a call to pick them up. I called Lulu and the phone rang and rang and rang. I figured I'd battle the holiday traffic and stop at the mall and pick up the pants. 75 mins in the parking lot of the mall, I get into Lulu and they tell me that my pants aren't done. And they don't answer the phone during the holidays. And they don't call when hemming is done at the holidays. Awful customer service !

I wonder if they didn't release several items in the 4th quarter due to manufacturer and quality problems with all the unraveling stitching, dye problems, etc. Rather than release items which were already in production and deal with enraged customers, returns, and further damaging their reputation, I wonder if they simply cut their losses in the 4th quarter and are now focusing on the coming season?

You know, the devotion is more wonderful than I thought.. a really nice layering piece, over a crb or under a hoodie, peaking out. But wht not release it in solid black?? I have always thought they should release everything in a solid black option, for those less colourful people.

Today I discovered the hype on the white hbone WUs - especially when paired with the now lower priced St. Moritz sweater in black and black boots?? I found my comfy outfit for the winter! Or with the dhbh? My alternate comfy outfit for the winter! I did not expect to like the sweater as much as I did but once on, I could not take it off - or the WUs. And I'm happy I bought the pants and not crops. For me, more versatile. They also had a pair of WUs in black swan that felt very soft and were not sheer. If they are still there on the 26th I'm snagging them!

I'm a devotion ls lover but I think its because I never cared for the double layer of the cabin or heaviness of the yoga tees. I have the devotion in tender violet and limitless blue stripe and really do wear them consistently :)

About Me
